Answer / madhusudhan

I understood your question.
To and From file will be same in the below scenerios for
the OVRDBF command.

1. When you want the different member of the same file.
2. When you want the same file in different Library.

There are more reasons for using OVERDBF other than these
also.

Answer / mansi walia

In RPGLE if you want to declare the same file in more then
once mode(read/write/update)in this case you can override
the file with different name and declare the same file with
the overriden name.
for example:
In RPGLE if you want to open a file A in two different mode
one is Read and other is Update then you can override the
same file with two different name may be AA and AB and then
declare in your RPGLE program.
